Douluo Dalu: Wulin’s Legend - Chapter 106 Dark Clouds on the Horizon!
On the central stage, the battle had yet to begin.
The seven from Animal Kingdom Academy were paralysed and dazed once they had a look at their opponents.
Not only was every one of them at least a Spirit Ancestor, but there was even a Spirit King, while they were only Spirit Elders.
Even the Beast Spirits they were so proud of got wholly overshadowed by the overbearing Beast Spirits of the enemy team.
They felt utterly outclassed in all aspects and didn’t know what they should do.
However, just as they were considering surrendering, they heard a voice from the other side.
“Hey, don’t give up just yet. How about this, my team will only use their first and second Spirit Abilities.”
If these words came from anyone else, they would think they were too arrogant. However, the person that said those words was the Spirit King.
Wulin stood at the front of the team; his body was brimming with confidence as he stared down the Animal Kingdom Academy.
If they decided to give up now, there wasn’t anything he could do about it, but he didn’t want them to go without even trying.
Therefore, he gave them a massive handicap. Not only him, but the girls and Ning Yuzi could only use up to their second Spirit Ability.
And it was because of this handicap that the Animal Kingdom Academy didn’t immediately give up.
They looked at each other as they silently discussed amongst each other before nodding their heads in agreement.
The leader of the Animal Kingdom Team looked at Wulin and said, “Fine, we agree to your terms. If any of you use your third Spirit Rings, you automatically lose the match.”
Wulin nodded his head happily, “Deal. Let’s begin now.”
The seven from the Animal Kingdom Team charged at Wulin and the others in their integrated Spirit form.
Wulin didn’t move from his spot and summoned his Primal Energy Staff before transforming it into a shield-like object.
As the Animal Kingdom Team marched forward, two feline-type Beast Spirit Masters split off from each side to get around the front line.
Even if the Seven Treasure Team only used their first two Spirit Abilities, they would lose due to the support of the Auxiliary System Spirit Masters.
Their only chance at victory was to quickly defeat the Auxiliary System Spirit Masters before they could enhance the front line.
Predicting their strategy, Little Yue backed up a couple of steps and joined Rong Rong, Xue Mei and Little Jing.

With her and Little Jing at the back, Little Yue was confident that she could easily hold the two Agility Type Spirit Masters for a while.
At this time, the Power Attack System Spirit Masters clashed with their front line. They placed three people on Wulin while the other two attacked Feng Feng and Ning Yuzi respectively.
From the three people charging Wulin, all of them used a Spirit Ability with rushing effects. Their speeds increased substantially, and they aimed their charge at Wulin.
Wulin took no heed to their charge and lowered his knees a little, solidifying his stance as he took the attacks head-on.
Thud!
The three sizeable bodied Power Attack System Spirit Masters slammed into Wulin’s shield with a dull thud.
However, even when using Spirit Abilities, they weren’t able to move Wulin a single inch.
After his time in the Ying Yang Ice and Fire Well, Wulin’s physical body was as powerful as a Spirit Saint. It’s no wonder the Spirit Elders can’t move him even a bit.
Wulin smirked and done a shield bash, forcing the three of them back a couple of steps.
With this first clash, the leader of the Animal Kingdom Team already lost hope, if the three of them couldn’t move him, the other four also wouldn’t do much.
The two Light Attack System Spirit Masters pounced at Rong Rong and Xue Mei respectively, hoping to take them out before they can buff the others.
However, when they got close, the ground around them began frosting, a layer of ice forming everywhere.
The chill from the ice caused their bodies to slow down, and the floor was slippery, so they had to pay caution to their movements.
Suddenly, from the icy floor, multiple thick chains made from ice burst upwards all around the two Spirit Masters, quickly latching onto and binding them.
The two Animal Kingdom Academy team members were caught off guard by the sudden bind and weren’t even allowed to use their Spirit Abilities.
This gave Rong Rong and Xue Mei the time to use their strengthening Spirit Abilities, increasing all their physical strength and agility by 70%.
Pow! Pow!
Two bodies flew out of the arena, swiftly getting disqualified from the fight. However, this was not the two Light Attack System Spirit Masters.
Instead, it was the two Power Attack System Spirit Masters that tried to take on Feng Feng and Ning Yuzi on their own.
In this short amount of time, they were beaten back by Feng Feng and Ning Yuzi’s Spirit Abilities.
Ning Yuzi’s first Spirit Ability was a long-ranged attack in the form of a golden light while his second was a short-ranged strike.
Both of them were much more powerful Power Attack System Spirit Masters, and the second they were buffed by the two girls, they quickly overpowered their opponent.
After the two Power Attack System Spirit Masters got thrown out of bounds, Little Yue’s Ice Chain’s swung around, throwing the other two out as well.
The final three from the Animal Kingdom Team lost all hope when they saw their team members thrown out of the arena with ease.
Finally, the captain raised his hands helplessly as he said, “We surrender.”
At his words, the referee jumped onto the stage and announced, “Preselection competition first round, third match, Seven Treasure School’s victory.”
The captain of Animal Kingdom Academy lifelessly returned to his teacher with the rest of his downtrodden team.
When he arrived, his teacher patted him on the shoulder, unfazed by the fight, “What’s wrong, don’t worry about this fight.”
The young leader looked at his teacher with teary eyes, “I’m sorry, we couldn’t even win our first fight. We might not be able to make it far in this competition because of me.”
“Hahaha, as I said before, don’t worry about this fight. Losing this fight has no meaning in our overall position.” The teacher consoled him.
The captain was stunned, “It doesn’t affect our position? Are they doing some kind of event? I didn’t hear about this.”
The teacher shook his head, “No, they are competing for real.”
“Then what? How could it not affect us?” The captain asked.
The leader shook his finger, “It’s simple. They will never lose a battle. All the other academies we are competing with will also face them once.”
“So, everyone will get a guaranteed loss. We were not expecting to reach the finals anyway, so losing to them won’t affect us at all.”
The captain had a blank look on his face, is this how we are meant to act? It feels weird to enter a competition and not even expect to try for first place…
However, he also understood the reasoning of his teacher; the Seven Treasure Team was way too strong for any of them to try and beat.
It was better to think that they would be starting a rank down and there are only four spots available for the finals.
…
“Tomorrow, I will bring the seven of you to meet Emperor Xue Ye. He is very interested in you guys and wants to let his children interact with you all.”
Ning Fengzhi sat on the large sofa with a cup of coffee in his hand. Sitting on the sofa opposite to him was Wulin and his girls.
To the side, Ning Yuzi was sitting in a chair with bright eyes; he didn’t expect he would be able to meet the Emperor.
The girls were also a little excited to meet the person who governs the whole of Heaven Dou Empire, but Wulin was different.
He knew that Qian Renxue infiltrated Heaven Dou Empire and was masquerading as Xue Qinghe, the eldest son of Emperor Xue Ye.
Wulin wasn’t sure what to do when he comes face to face with Qian Renxue, should he expose her, or allow her to continue her masquerade?
If he exposed her and she got killed, there is a chance that Spirit Hall will directly go to war with Heaven Dou Empire.
She was heavily doted on by her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, and her mother Bibi Dong still loves her very much.
The Heaven Dou Empire is not prepared for such a battle, so Wulin though it would be best to keep his mouth quiet.
At least, until Grandpa Bone and Grandpa Sword could increase their levels and fight on equal grounds with Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu.
“His children are a little arrogant as they are born royalty, but don’t mind them that much. Try to get along with them.”
Ning Fengzhi said, getting everyone to nod their heads in agreement.
“Good, go and rest up. I will take you to visit Emperor Xue Ye after your battle tomorrow.” He said and stood up, before returning to his room.
As Ning Fengzhi left, Ning Yuzi stood up and bowed towards the others, “Young Master, Young Misses, I will head off now.”
Wulin nodded his head, now left alone with his girls. Like usual, Little Jing was sitting in his lap.
Feng Feng and Little Yue who sat on either side of Wulin were playing around with her tails like long and fluffy brushes.
“Hubby, what do you think about Emperor Xue Ye?” Feng Feng used one of Little Jing’s tails to brush Wulin’s cheeks.
“I don’t know much about him, but Father-in-Law seems to like him a bit. I heard Emperor Xue Ye is kind yet calculative.” Wulin shook his head.
“He probably wants his children to get to know us like he knows Father-in-Law since we are the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.” He added.
Rong Rong frowned slightly, “Isn’t that Xue Beng one of Emperor Xue Ye’s sons? He was the one that caused the whole problem at Heaven Dou Academy.”
Wulin extended his hand to pat her head, “Emperor Xue Ye will probably make him apologise for that event.”
…
Somewhere in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan…
A white-haired old man was serenely sitting on a mat, his legs crossed and his breathing steady as he cultivated through the night.
Suddenly, a black portal opened up in front of him and out stepped a gigantic figure.
The white-haired man stopped his cultivation and looked at the giant, “Gu Rong, why have you come looking for me?”
Gu Rong pulled some wine from his spatial storage and helped himself to a seat, “Chen Xin, I have something to speak with you about.”
Chen Xin thought that Gu Rong was going to pick a fight with him again, but realised he seemed to be very serious.
He stood from his prayer mat and sat opposite Gu Rong, “What is the matter?”
“I have noticed that Spirit Hall seems to hold ill intentions towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.” Gu Rong solemnly started.
“When Little Wulin and the others showed their strength today, the Spirit Hall Bishop unconsciously released a little killing intent.”
“If not for me being a Titled Douluo, I wouldn’t have been able to catch it. Spirit Hall is likely to try to kill the children as they are so talented.”
Hearing Gu Rong reveal all of this, Chen Xin frowned as well.
“What do you want me to do? Should I follow the kids in the shadows?” Chen Xin asked.
Gu Rong shook his head, “Spirit Hall can’t do anything to them in public, but they may try to find a reason to attack them.”
“I am confident in my strength to protect them in public, but I fear Spirit Hall’s overall strength is even greater than ours.”
“What I want you to do is to adventure out and breakthrough as quickly as you can.”
